Pollyanna McIntosh
Pollyanna McIntosh is from Scotland. She
was raised in Portugal, Colombia and then returned to Scotland. This is where
she began to perform on stage in The Edinburgh Festival. At 16, she moved to
London and soon found herself involved in independent filmmaking (her first
paid gig was as stoner in Irvine Welsh's The Acid House (1998)) and theatre,
both as an actress and director. A move to Los Angeles in 2004 brought an
increase in theatre productions, including a production of "The
Woolgatherer" that she was the director Anne Dudek (a regular on Mad Men
(2007)/Big Love (2006)) as well as David Dayan Fisher (a regular on 24
(2001)/NCIS (2003)) to high praise. She then landed her first US film role,
playing the manipulative and a born-again Christian, "Stacy", in
Headspace (2005). Her first movie role was in the film Headspace (2005) as the
manipulative born-again Christian "Thumper Wint". This comedy was
written by Heathers (1988). Exam (2009) that was the first, in which she was
with in London and LA was her next. BAFTA-nominated for Outstanding British
Debut and winner at the Santa Barbara Film Fest of Best Independent,
Pollyanna's performance was "smart and sassy" in equal parts the
emotion center of the film" as well as her ability to see the
"emotional vulnerability" of her tough and ambitious character. GQ
simply said that Pollyanna McIntosh was a stunning actor and actress
"extraordinarily talented actor". Como Quien No Quiere La Cosa (2013)
(As if you Don't Like it! ) is an South American comedy in which she plays the
unhappy wife of Trevor Lock, a Brit comedian. She is fluent in Spanish
throughout the film, which was shot in Peru. In Burke and Hare (2010), directed
by John Landis, she plays Isla Fisher's best friend along with Simon Pegg, Andy
Serkis, Jessica Hynes, Tom Wilkinson and Tim Curry. Lucky McKee's The Woman
(2011) was an absolute success. It received rave reviews and was a top pick in
the New York Times readers' favourite movies poll. She was awarded three Best
Actress nominations, including Total Film's Frightfest Award as well as Fright
Meter's.
